The host was excellent and we felt at home. Nothing was too much trouble and we enjoyed our stay tremendously.

We were very well received on arrival. We stayed in the self-catering cottage that was extremely tidy and well cared for. Our host was very well trained and made us feel at home from the word go. We had dinner that was well prepared and good value for money. We will certainly recommend Katryns.

Value for money.

Our family slept very well at Katryns. All the little extras in the room were striking like the Lindt chocolate and cappuccinos. The hostess is very friendly and makes sure you have everything you need. The breakfast was excellent! Would stay here again.

A lovely, homely atmosphere provided by an excellent host.

We really enjoyed staying at Katryns. Chantel is a great host. She was present when we arrived late afternoon and the cappuccino served on arrival in the pretty garden was a lovely touch. Our room was spacious and comfortable and so was the bathroom. There was an unforeseen power failure in the evening. This was resolved within half an hour without any trouble or complaints. Breakfast included yogurt with fresh fruit and a generous English breakfast with delicious coffee. We will not hesitate to recommend the establishment to friends and family.

Safe and tidy accommodation in a beautiful area.

The service was friendly. Rooms were well equipped. We only booked accommodation, but wanted to cook meat. A facility was created and even wood was provided. However, it is uncomfortable without a sink in the room. A larger space to put refuse outside the facility will also be very useful.

Friendly staff and helpful.

On arrival we were friendly welcomed. The room and bathroom were spacious and neat. We asked for ice and larger glasses which they supplied right away. Enjoyed the breakfast. They also trusted us to do an EFT when their card machine did not want to work and we had to leave. Payment was done and they were happy.

Very surprised.

What an amazing stay. Our host was fantastic and catered to our every need. No doubt where I will be staying when we return. The accommodation is stunning and not a single detail is missed. I love finding gems like this is small towns. It's not always easy but this is definitely one.

Lovely, quiet, clean, nice sleeping area. Total value for money.

Owner very friendly. She made a booking for us at the Blou Naartjie, fantastic food. Breakfast also delicious. Really a must stay. They accommodate every convenience for a traveller and even to stay over for a few nights. Lovely rooms. Lovely bedding.

Rediscover the Karoo hospitality and peculiarity!

This guesthouse is really something special, the dining room's wooden floors and fireplace give a warm sense of hospitality, while the garden is still being maintained during this drought stricken time! Chantel is truly the epitome of humility! Her rooms are decorated with fine details! The restaurant, where dinner is arranged in advance, has surely been one of the most delicious meals!

Five star stay for sure! Thank you very much.

Many thanks to LekkeSlaap (Claudette) and Katryns' hostess. It was a wonderful overnight stay. My husband and I really enjoyed it. People were very friendly and helpful and hospitable. Everything was immaculately tidy and clean and we didn't miss anything. Thank you very much, our children (Heinrich and Nicolette Heunis) and grandchildren are going to overnight there in October when they are on leave. It is the ideal accommodation for anyone and is conveniently located fairly centrally between Kathu and the Cape. Definitely worth 5 stars.

Attention to detail! Felt at home.

We always enjoy our stay at Katryns. Nice and peaceful part of town an very friendly reception. Rooms are always neat and beautiful decor and quality bedding/linen etc. The breakfast is always delicious, plentiful and nicely presented. We also had dinner there which was amazing! Will definitely recommend it to anyone who has to overnight in Calvinia.

We were well received and the service was excellent.

The room assigned to us was neat and clean. The only negative comment is maybe a different type of room heating during the winter. The aircon worked well, but it is not our first choice of heating. Breakfast was on time and delicious, perhaps with the exception of one plate whose eggs were hard when they were ordered soft-turn.
